The High Calling of Our Sanitarium Workers
[Testimonies for the Church 7:68-71 (1902).]
The workers in our sanitariums have a high and
holy calling. They need to awake to a realization of
the sacredness of their work. The character of this
work and the extent of its influence call for earnest
effort and unreserved consecration.
In our sanitariums the sick and suffering are to
be led to realize that they need spiritual help as
well as physical restoration. They are to be given
every advantage for the restoration of physical
health; and they should be shown also what it
means to be blessed with the light and life of
Christ, what it means to be bound up with Him.
They are to be led to see that the grace of Christ in
the soul uplifts the whole being. And in no better
way can they learn of Christ’s life than by seeing it
revealed in the lives of His followers.
